Falling In Love

Our hearts are open at a vulnerable stage. Love has once again taken its toll And we surrender to its power. The world stops and time freezes, Our palms sweat and the heat is turned on high. Who are we to runaway from such a feeling?? Our guard lessens and the brick wall collapses. We are anxious… We are scared. Our hearts soften while blood rushes To our fingertips, And tingles our toes! We fear getting broken, From a feeling that’s ever so sweet, Because we fear that the pieces won’t break even. You want to feel whole again, But your other half is missing. It’s unexplainable… It’s unbearable… But finally complete when, When you can finally say, To that special some who makes you happy, Or gushy, Or just so super, Or ALL OF THE ABOVE. . . When you can say, I love you.
